You mean I voted for Bush III?
 

Or so our favorite lefties here should be thinking.

"WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration said Tuesday it could continue
to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been
acquitted of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission.

Jeh Johnson, the Defense Department's chief lawyer, told the Senate
Armed Services Committee that releasing a detainee who has been tried
and found not guilty was a policy decision that officials would make
based on their estimate of whether the prisoner posed a future threat.

Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration argues that the
legal basis for indefinite detention of aliens it considers dangerous
is separate from war-crimes prosecutions."

Oh - oh - I hear leftie heads exploding in the great states of
Maryland and Washington.

A sweet sound to be sure.

You are not talking about American Citizens, that are rehabilitated,
being released. You are talking about People committed to killing, as
many, of us, as they can get to, whatever their sacrifice. You want them
buy an island and take them off our hands but don't let them get back
here. It's like wanting to turn a mad dog loose in your yard.

I certainly hope this isn't the case when push comes to shove.

I'm for the rule of law, but there are circumstances in which the
normal course isn't appropriate.

The most appropriate analogy is the sex offender. Found guilty,
sentenced, done the time and due for release. Unfortunately, everyone
knows, including the offender, that there's nothing that can prevent
them from doing it again.

It's not a perfect fit by any means but in these case, what is the
right answer? I expect it depends on where they're from and if they
can be released back into their own wild.
